Chapter 1334: Turned Into an Exiled Organization
Because of the children, certain events took a different turn.
Zhao Guang himself reduced his research time, as he had to spend time with them every day; he couldn't just leave them aside.
However, during the day, he found himself surprisingly free.
Because those women wouldn't gather around him during the day; they all ran off to see the two children. Various issues were resolved by these women, leaving Zhao Guang with nothing to involve himself in.
Yet, the way they looked at Alya grew increasingly envious.
As for the nights, they were always filled with a large group of people trying to drain him.
There was nothing he could do, they all wanted to use this method to increase the chances, so Zhao Guang had no choice but to let it be. After all, this sort of thing felt quite good for him.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere throughout the Xuanwu Empire turned lively.
Because the entire country now knew that their King had heirs; for ordinary people, this was a great event worth celebrating.
Even those with insight were extremely excited, surpassing the ordinary people.
Why? Because the King's two children bore the bloodline of Demigods. This meant the presence of the next King would last a long time and be very powerful.
With such a King, the country's continuation would be much easier.
Most crucially, with such a powerful King, the state would thrive continuously.
It was heard that this time there was a Prince and a Princess; many people's minds began to whirl.
This Princess, if one's own child could marry her, it could greatly improve their own bloodline. It must be known, even if the Demigod Bloodline is diluted, it still remains a Demigod Bloodline.
A Legendary Bloodline can bring many special traits to descendants, so wouldn't a Demigod Bloodline even more so?
Some people had been to the Borick Continent, gaining a deep understanding of the Demigod Bloodline there.
Though not many were casually passed down, every branch was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, these people intermarried among themselves, making it very difficult for outsiders to intervene.
But their King was different; he didn't care about maintaining bloodlines through intermarriage at all.
In his view, as long as his daughter liked someone in the future, it was fine.
So now, to increase the chances, many people began frantically having children at home, just in hopes that someone could marry the Princess home in the future. When people looked at each other, they were filled with fighting spirit, because these were future competitors.
Zhao Guang had no idea about this, otherwise, who knows how he would freak out.
His daughter had just been born; what father would want to see his daughter being coveted by others.
While the Xuanwu Empire was in high spirits, it was a completely different story in the Lusis Empire.
One day, Zhao Guang received news that the Lusis Empire had turned into a government-in-exile.
"What on earth happened? They couldn't have collapsed this fast, could they?"
Zhao Guang looked at the information sent from the front lines, lost in thought. When a person decides to be foolish, there's simply no room for anything else. From an onlooker's perspective, these matters were very clear, yet they just couldn't see it.
They always considered him a threat, refusing to let him help.
Even when the country had deteriorated to such a state, they still refused his help and were unwilling to purchase floating battleships.
The result was a lack of combat prowess on their front lines.
The idiotic nobles felt proud of their trivial successes, took huge losses just as the enemy having good luck, and concealed everything.
By the time people in the rear learned about it, things had already spiraled out of control.
Under these circumstances, their lines of defense kept faltering; despite multiple commands from the alliance, they just wouldn't heed them.
Eventually, just as both sides' lines stabilized, their side collapsed again.
Without formidable strength, even the upper echelons wouldn't care anymore.
Even those Legendary Strongmen couldn't come help, as they were under complete alliance control and had to follow overall alliance directives.
More shockingly, the high-ranking officials of the Lusis Empire were overwhelmingly disappointing.
Gradually, these Legendary Strongmen were recruited by other nations or organizations and joined them as the conditions offered were excellent, while the state of the Lusis Empire appeared dire.
The departure of some only exacerbated the situation.
In the end, Lusis was left with only those few Legendary figures of royal lineage.
Even those of Great Noble origin left with their descendants and families.
The battlefield underwent significant changes, and after a massive battle, only one of those royal Legendary figures survived, severely injured and had to retreat.
Upon returning to find the Empire in such a state, they left along with their own group.
A minority who didn't want to leave were forcibly taken away, leaving the Lusis Empire completely devoid of upper-level strength.
Without the support of the strong, they still refused assistance. The nobles at the very front were immediately shattered in spirit because they found that their support was completely gone.
This structure made information nearly impossible to keep secret, with the front lines knowing instantly.
Then, utter chaos broke out instantly, front-line soldiers had no will to fight, and the Undead continued advancing. Those Undead Beings broke through their lines as if on a regular march.
By the time the Lusis higher-ups reacted, the foremost defense lines had completely fallen.
The only line of defense left now was, astonishingly, the original national border.
Meaning, any further retreat would lose them their last territory, and their nation would fall. But when the King wanted to fight the Undead Beings with all his might, he found no one around supported him.
Everyone was busy fleeing, none cared for the King's words.
A King without a nation, could he still be called a King?
In the end, King Lusis was helpless and could only withdraw with his own group. The nation was gone, and others were left to their own devices; those who stayed seemed numerous but could do nothing significant anymore.
King Lusis was utterly dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how it had all come to this.
He was clearly powerful, and he clearly understood everything, so why could he not even save his own country?
